I just wrote *The End* for The Ghost of Avalon for one of the last times. After a quick read through it will be off to my editor to see if any other developmental changes need to happen, then it's on to line edits. #publishing #WritingCommunity #theghostofavalon

Between Wed and Thurs I recieved an agent full request (off a query submitted after unhingedpit--request came 18 minutes after sending the query!), a small press full request (makes three out right now), and another smallpitch request! It's been a good week in the trenches!

Thank you everyone for all of your support during #UnhingedPit !

The city's chief Lycan hunters, councilman Masala and V Director Nemhauser join forces vowing to wipe out the Lycan menace in the city. Lycan mind control can strike anywhere, and those sympathetic to the Lycan cause, so-called "hairy travelers" pose a great threat to our city security. #UnhingedPit

AITA: After I (immortal, F, muse recently trapped in a human body) got caught sneaking food from the mortal market without paying, I manipulated someone (25, M, butcher) to take the fall for my so-called theft. They cut off his hand, and now he’s mad at me?!?!? #UnhingedPit #Q #A #F #R #Romantasy
